Do we? :P Let's see: David, Iker...err, help me out here. (Jsyk I don't actually like Leo, which I know seems hard to believe given the amount of fic I've written about him, but - yeah.)
I also like Sergio Ramos and Mesut Ozil and Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo (at least the way you write him). Might be hard to tell when I'm writing from Xavi's POV though ;).
Hey, that'd be neat if you could see him play! I think NY is better than Qatar. Then again I know nothing about MLS or whatever Qatar's league is called. I'd rather live in NY than Qatar, anyway.
Unless you're a wealthy Qatari male, who wouldn't?
Oh, really? I've always gotten the impression that soccer is very low on the sports ladder in America.
It's changed a lot with the rise in Hispanic immigrants, I think. Most kids play soccer growing up here. Unfortunately athletes in other sports get paid more, but I don't think it's necessarily a reflection of how much people like the sport. The MLS is also kind of weird (to me at least) since players switch between teams a lot with the annual draw - there's no real basis for team loyalty other than living nearby.
That's how it is here, anyway, and we're very similar, us neighbours. (Except you guys are richer, more powerful, more advanced, etc.)
I have my doubts about whether we're more advanced, and most people in the population probably aren't richer either (wealth is more evenly distributed in Canada isn't it?).
